Use the
Redundancy page to enable and disable the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for switch ports 3 and 4.
NOTE: Because only switch ports 3 and 4 support RSTP redundancy, use ports 3 and 4 to connect the BMX NOC 0401 Ethernet communication module to the wider network, and ports 1 and 2 for connections to local devices.
The RSTP service creates a loop-free logical network path for Ethernet devices that are part of a topology that includes redundant physical paths, and automatically restores network communication—by activating redundant links—in the event the network experiences a service interruption.
The Redundancy page looks like this:
